10 Cancer Warning Signs Women Often Overlook

Over 90% of people with endometrial cancer have non-period bleeding. It may not be easy to tell the difference for those with irregular menstrual cycles. Therefore, tracking periods is important for overall female health, and it can also be useful for cervical or vaginal cancer screening. Contact your doctor if you experience abnormally heavy bleeding, bleeding between periods, bleeding during intercourse, or bloody discharge. Additionally, people after menopause shouldn’t experience vaginal bleeding or spotting at all, according to the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Seek medical attention if this occurs.

It’s normal to feel tired after a busy week, or if you’re experiencing burnout. However, regular fatigue should go away after proper rest and rejuvenation. But if nothing seems to help alleviate the exhaustion and it’s interfering with your job, hobbies, and overall quality of life, speak to your doctor. Don’t keep blaming your hectic schedule and hope “one restful night’s sleep” will fix it.
